Sister in law, Diane Cox and brother Greg Cox have joined in a community project to create an area of respect and beauty for the USS Indianapolis Memorial on Canal Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. Diane Cox, a professional landscape architech of 20 plus years, drew up the new landscaping plans, and rather than go through political red tape for the money, submitted the plans to the Admiral, who in turn approved the plans, though expensive. Diane worked day and night calling on the companies she does business with and within days, all materials, labor, equipment and volunteers were ready to begin the project. They are working 24/7 to be finished for the reunion of the Indianapolis survivors. Great effort is being made to make the monument the BEST in the state, if not the country. Both Diane and Greg say this is the proudest moment of their lives to be involved in making sure our USS Indianapolis survivors are never to be forgotten, now or in the future. We owe our lives to these brave men, now and forevermore.
